    On Me, Being a Good Sport About It

      Yes, he is still alive. Why do you ask?

    I have written long and outraged responses to three emails in my mailbox and then deleted them without sending.  Clearly, I am not in a good place.  All my stress has converted itself into incredibly volatile cloud of irritation that’s wrapped around me and I’m overcome with the urge to punch random strangers in the face.  I don’t even know why.

    Ever get this way or am I the only ball of hate and pissiness?

    Damn it, I’m so irritated.

    I am going to play something.  Maybe I will murder some undead in Diablo III.

    Pecking at the YA this evening. Emily spun toward me.  “Ellie, don’t.  Don’t agree to anything.  They’re asking you to kill people for them.  They won’t be normal people.  Don’t do it.  Mom didn’t want you to be involved.  Think about that.” Brunson said nothing.  His face was calm.  He didn’t seem worried.  He knew…

    The emergency state of things continues, but life goes on.  STEEL’S EDGE is finished and turned in to beta readers.  Gordon and I are considering a side project before going full force on Kate 6.  It’s a toss-up between funny UF with a broom and angst-ridden YA set in one of our established worlds.  The…

    Beta Readers for the Steel’s Edge

    A quick note to the beta readers:  Steel’s Edge is almost done.  If you have beta read in the past for us and would like to read it, please email me with the word Beta in the subject of the email.  It is not a happy book.  There is a fairly serious spoiler near the…

    Reruns 3: A Small Blue Key

    May 10, 2012 45

    This is an old story I found archived on the blog.  I was looking for something funny, but found this instead.  It was written in the spring of 2007 and trunked for good reasons – it’s heavy handed and melodramatic and overwrought, and there are many things I’d do differently now, but you can sort…

  • Reruns: Romeo and Juliet

    Right now we’re ago going through some really difficult time in our family.  I think this might be the hardest thing we ever had to deal with.  So I thought I’d pull up some old posts and have a few Best of Blog reruns.  This is the first one. Originally posted January 15, 2009. So…

    We’re resuming the regular broadcasting, now that the contest is over.  Today will be a busy day.  We have to run around and go places and I really don’t want to.  I know exactly why – STEEL’S EDGE is entering home stretch.  At about 20K from the end, the book becomes a vampire: it just…
